Rivaroxaban. A novel, oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor in clinical development for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders.

چکیده
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is a novel, oral, direct Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor in late-stage development for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Rivaroxaban inhibits clot-associated and free FXa activity, and prothrombinase activity, and reduces thrombin generation. In animal models, rivaroxaban prevented venous and arterial thrombosis, and was effective at treating venous thrombosis. Rivaroxaban has high oral bioavailability, a rapid onset of action and predictable pharmacokinetics. In phase II studies, rivaroxaban was effective and well tolerated for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after major orthopaedic surgery, and for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. In a phase III study, rivaroxaban demonstrated significantly superior efficacy to enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis after total knee arthroplasty, with similar low bleeding. Rivaroxaban is also being assessed for the treatment and secondary prevention of VTE, prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and secondary prevention in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Rivaroxaban is a promising alternative to current pharmacological agents for thromboembolic disorders.

Management consensus guidance for the use of rivaroxaban--an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor.
A number of novel oral anticoagulants that directly target factor Xa or thrombin have been developed in recent years. Rivaroxaban and apixaban (direct factor Xa inhibitors) and dabigatran etexilate (a direct thrombin inhibitor) have shown considerable promise in large-scale, randomised clinical studies for the management of thromboembolic disorders, and have been approved for clinical use in sp...

متن کاملPreclinical and clinical characteristics of rivaroxaban: a novel, oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor.
There are several novel anticoagulants in development that target factor Xa(FXa)-the pivotal point of the coagulation cascade. One promising agent is rivaroxaban (a highly selective, oral, direct FXa inhibitor), which is in advanced clinical development for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. Oral rivaroxaban may be given in fixed once-daily doses, with the potential for n...

Direct inhibition of thrombin or Factor Xa with synthetic, small molecules is an attractive strategy for the development of novel anticoagulants. After the withdrawal of ximelagatran, dabigatran is now the furthest advanced oral, di...
